Big Camp 2016
1. Avengers vs Villains (June 13-17)
Your favorite Avengers need your help this week to defeat a number of
evil villains! You will have to show your super skills by being as “Fast as the
Wind” to block deadly bombs with your Captain America shield! Your
perception will be tested when you use your “X-ray Vision”. You’ll need to
think quick to solve special Avenger puzzles. How about a “Hammer Throw”
like Thor or some “Hulk Smashing”? Can you be as angry as Hulk? Don't forget
to take home some “Hulk Slime”! An awesome Avenger t- shirt will show you
are the ultimate superhero!
2. A Clue Murder Mystery (June 20-24)
The most renowned sleuths of all time are gathering at the “Y” to solve
a most difficult mystery. Our Counselors have gotten themselves mixed up in
a murder. We hope you will be able to help solve the crime! You will have to
find the weapons, finger print the suspects, identify a few body parts, and
even put together a skeleton! Bravery and skill will be needed to complete the
clue relay. Throwing hearts around is going to get messy! If you can solve the
mystery you will be rewarded with a lovely framed picture of yourself dressed
in your undercover detective disguise.
3. Game Central (June 27-July 1)
Have you ever wanted to be in a video game? This is your chance to see what
it feels like to be chased by ghosts while collecting power pellets! Maybe you
would rather throw a few angry birds to knock down buildings. Help Mario and
Luigi stomp the Goombas and search for coins. Your TMNT nun-chucks will
come in handy against Shredder’s ninja warriors. Take home a Minecraft key
chain and a Pacman magnet to go with your Angry Birds. Whether you enjoy
old school or new school video games, you’ll fit right in. It's all fun and video
games this week, “Y” style!
4. Zombies Take Over (July 11-15)
Zombies are all over the country! The bad news is they have been spotted on
the “Y” grounds! We have been asked, because of our extensive experiences
with monsters, to aide in keeping the grounds safe for unsuspecting members.
A briefing will be given every morning about Zombie habits. You will be
required to create a Zombie costume so you are able to blend in if they
appear. Physical and mental competitions like “Legless Racing”, “Brain Toss”
and “What do Zombies Eat” will be required. If you are able to complete all
these successfully you will be let loose on the grounds to eradicate the Zombie
threat. A film crew will record your success or failure. Good Luck!
5. Snowmageden (July 18-22)
It is going to be a very hot summer. There is a chill in the air. Snowflakes
are falling and “Snowgies” are bouncing around. What could be better than
having a “Snowball” fight? How about playing “Freeze Tag” or skiing to keep
cool? How are you at knocking over “Snowmen”? Maybe you’d rather destroy
a block of ice. What about putting together an igloo? You’ll have plenty of
activities to keep you warm this week while chilling out with your friends.
6. Wet & Wild (July 25–29)
It's really hot and we all need to cool off! Let's try some “Drip Drip
Drench”. We’ll have water relays and a “Wet Feet” challenge. When we are
not getting wet, we’ll be making tie-dyed t-shirts, silly sand characters and a
sparkling sun catcher. Of course we need a good day for a “Slip-n-Slide”. Let’s
end the week with a “Water Hike” and a “Jellyfish” catch. Bring your swim
suit and a big towel! Be prepared to be drenched from head to toe!
7. Crazy Olympic Carnival (August 1–5)
Let's all get in the spirit of the summer Olympics! Of course ours is just
for fun with crazy competitions. It might get a little messy! How about using a
water balloon as a shot put or maybe a pool noodle as a javelin. In our
swimming competition you won't even need a swimsuit just a ping pong ball
and a straw. We can always throw in some minute to win it games for a little
fun. Our closing ceremonies will include a few ribbons and a lot of carnival
games because everyone loves to win!
